Just a Quick one . . .

 

I don't have time for a really lengthy post this morning as I have to leave for an appointment at 9:30 and need to get ready to go before then.  I just thought I would share a few things. 

I've been making some nice collages to share on my EK Facebook page. I did this one today and . . . 

I did this one yesterday.  I have always loved making collages. Its a type of being creative that anyone can do.  You don't need any special talents. Just some nice pictures, some lovely quotes and a program like Pic Monkey, which is what I use.

It was quite warm yesterday. I ventured out to check the mail, but that's all I did.  The rest of the time I spent in the house with my heat pump on, which sounds like a contradiction, but what a heat pump does is warm your home in the Winter and cool it in the Summer. Yesterday I was using the cooling function. I can't remember how warm it got now, but it did get quite hot.

Thankfully not overly humid though, which is good. Its the humidity which gets to me. I can take a bit of heat, but humidity is not my friend.

I cooked a bit, wrote a bit, worked on my sketch a bit. I did a lot of erasing, so it looks pretty much the same as it did.  I haven't added anything to it really. Just sketched and erased. Sketched and erased. 

I played a bit with the cats. I dug out some of their toys that they had not seen in a while, hoping they might renew some interest in them, but  . . .  they seem to be past the age of playing.

We chased and killed half a dozen flies. Where they come from and how they get in remains a mystery to me.

I cleaned and refilled the hummingbird feeder. With all of this hot weather they are emptying it quickly. I also cleaned and refilled the birdbath. Its not a lot of water, but it is being used and emptied every day. Birds, chipmunks, bees, wasps, etc. They all need water.

I had a brief discussion on Facebook with someone who thought our Government banning hiking during this drought was fascism. An American. They were aghast that someone caught hiking during the ban had been fined $25,000. Well, we've all been warned of the consequences if we break the ban. These bans and fines have not come from a place of Government control, but from a place whereby our Provincial Government just wants to keep everyone safe.  For the greater good. It is not a normal thing, this ban . . . and once the drought ends, hiking places will open back up again. 

We live in a culture where everyone is looking for Monsters and someone to blame. Its sad really.

I, for one, am grateful for a Government that cares. You don't have to agree with me, but you have to respect my right to disagree with you, as I respect your rights also. It's called getting along.

And with that I will leave you with a thought for the day! I'll be back tomorrow with a normal post.

In The English Kitchen today, Chicken Scampi with Garlic Parmesan Rice. This was fabulously delicious and such a simple make!

I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday. Stay safe and be happy. Don't forget!
